What gets me going is a challenge - conceptual, intellectual, operational, commercial, human, physical. I can't resist doing something difficult, with tight budgets, short timeframes, and not so many resources. That's taken me to create businesses, lead them (occasionally out of the wilderness), nurture them, transform them and mentor them to success. I specialize in robust and effective business plans, models, pitches and proposals, budgets, B2B selling and international markets, all of which I have been doing for many many years as the regional director of national and international companies, then as a consultant.My specific focus is on supporting female founders (starts-ups, early stage and growing). Models are built to a monthly periodicity over five years and cover all elements of business operations. That includes - indeed is primarily focussed - on cashflow. I can also help you create 90 day forward looking forward cashflow plans, critical to short term forecasts.I work on a fractional basis to mentor, coach, advise, counsel and advise and support management in the execution and delivery of business objectives and targets. Something where I can learn something too.When I'm not doing that, I'm off on another adventure, camera and notepad in hand, to see places beyond the horizon, meet peoples with different life experiences than mine, to then write about what I| have seen and learned.See PROJECTS below for details of the work I am doing and have done for my principal clients.
